Fate of the Furious trailer

It's funny because the "Dom switching sides" thing seems like it's just a role reversal of Letty doing just that in 6. I'm probably wrong and there's some twist that I don't yet know of, but that's what it seems like.

Also, how many fuckin 70 Chargers is Dom gonna wreck this time? I see him driving 72-ish Roadrunner in the trailer. Guy sure loves his Mopar cars.

Still my favorite one. I watched it about, or over 50 times. Goddamn I had such a celebrity crush on Eva Mendes.. Monica oh Monica 😊
 
Also, casual reminder that this installment isn't being directed by Justin Lin --he was busy with Star Trek Beyond--*, but is instead being directed by...F. Gary Gray. Interesting choice for the director's chair lmao.

(For those who don't know, his past directing jobs were Friday, The Negotiator, the 2003 Italian Job remake, and last year's Straight Outta Compton.)

e: Made a mistake, James Wan did Furious 7. Lin has seemingly left the series after F&F6.

The last one wasn't Lin either, it was James Wan who's previous films were low budget horror movies.

James Wan did Furious 7. I don't think Lin is ever coming back.

This all started off with stealing VCR's and now they are drag racing nuclear subs on ice...

Yeah, I'm in.

stealing VCR's is a gateway crime, this is all a PSA to stop people from stealing.
Movie looks good, I'll catch it on a $5 tuesday at my local theater.
 
Watch out to find out that DOM is invicible, they needed 5 cars to hold him back for a bit...

You cant even shoot him, you cant punch him, you cant even come nearhim!

He is the most DOMinant force of the universe...F9 will introduce Dragon Ball Z into the mix, so they atleast stand a chance against DOM with Goku and Vegeta joining in!
 
I don't get the complaints that it's dumb, the series has always been like that. Also since FF4 they had to think of ways how to go bigger in the next movie, because that's how they make money.

What I'm disappointed in is that they seem to be reusing Letty's storyline with Dom by forcing him to make a heel turn.

What the fuck was all that? And everyone is in this train wreck! Charlize! Kurt! Statham and Diesel and the Rock and ... holy moly.

I've only watched the first one and it was basically a Point Break re-make with bad acting and crazy car stunts. Looks like it hasn't gotten any better but now everyone in Hollywood is in this movie.

You know Point Break was also basically a remake of No Man's Land with Charlie Sheen and DB Sweeny right except it has surfing instead of Porsches? ;-)
 
Rolling my eyes at the plot and yet grinning with glee at the cars and destruction. Day one.

Oh and charlize is just going to play the babe behind the monitor? Disappointed.

This parody is less ridiculous than the F8 trailer.

I'm going to watch F8 at least 3 times in the cinema. I want it to pass $2 billion worldwide.

Lol I remember watching this when it was new. Hilarious. Yeah, I think it was the skyscraper jump in Fast 7 where we'd officially reached 3 Fast 3 3urious levels. I mean that's straight up in the parody, but they jump two buildings in Fast 7.

I mean really, we've been talking about how this tonal change makes no goddamn sense for 5 years now. At this point there are more films in this style than there are of the original trashy-street-racing style. I suppose that doesn't make it any less funny.

The official moment where the series did its u-turn and the whole world realised it was in the first Fast Five trailer when the fucking Rock shows up in this film and says "Above all else, we don't ever, ever... let them get into cars." And everyone was just like "Wait did he just fucking say that? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard..... I'm in." And thus began this chain of being simultaneously disgusted and inticed at these fucking dumb moments.

I'll say this: Fast Five is the best film not because it was the dumbest and loudest (it wasn't, its sequels take that cake). Its that its dumb/loud sequences are wrapped in something somewhere close to palpable (like the family stuff is an actual theme, instead of just a buzz word that gets tossed around for no reason), but perhaps more importantly, the bank vault sequence is the best sequence the films have put out thus far and I feel like I still haven't quite had that itch scratched again.

Let me explain: when I go to see these films, I don't just want to see the dumbest shit. I want to see the most creative shit they can possibly think of now that they've thrown realism and intelligence out the window. They're in a position to do stuff that isn't possible in most other films, even blockbusters. Jumping a car through two buildings is alright. It's dumb, it's kind of cool, but it's not super creative. The concept of having our two heroes driving super fucking fast cars while carrying a single bank vault on two wires is creatively hot as fuck. Using the prize/macguffin as a weapon by coordinating braking, turning and accelerating to manipulate the physics of the vault is fucking cool and I haven't seen something as creatively charged before or since. Like, that's an inspired sequence.

The finale to Fast 7 in comparison is pretty fucking tame. Like, it's super loud and bombastic and dumb, but it's not really anything you wouldn't get in your average blockbuster fare, just with more ham, cheese and one liners. But the action itself isn't very creative. There's some street driving. There are a few punch ons. There's a chain gun in there. But that's all.

Basically what I'm saying is, dumb is good only because it can unlock more creative tools. Dumb by itself is just kind of bland.
 
Fast to the FUR10US is going to involve time, not space.

After saving Jessie, Han, and Vince in the past and he's become an intergalactic outlaw, Dom is going to realize that the best way to protect his family is to leave for good. After agreeing to do one last quarter light-mile with Haley's Comet (which is actually Brian in his Supra), Dom rips through time and drifts around a black hole shooting him into another dimension.

He then crash lands on a dark, desolate planet where the title of the movie finally pans up
Origins of Riddick
 
Basically headed the same direction as the previous one, into what basically amounts to a sunday morning cartoon .

5 and 6 shall remain as the highlight.
 
Yep I'm in, looks as crazy as ever, should be another entertaining movie.

Interesting twist, with Dom. There's obviously going to be more to it, than whats showed here, but he's selling it as a bad guy though, no hesitation, it really has the feeling that he has turned on them for real.

Also bringing Statham into the group, didn't see that coming. I was expecting Charlize Theron's character to break Statham out and then go after Dom, but its good to see them going for something different.

Oh, absolutely. I feel like Fast Five is the high point that they've been chasing ever since, though Vin Diesel's bank balance might beg to differ.
 
Well..that looked ridiculous, but also ridiculously fun. Seems like a great idea to pit Dom against his team and boost up that team with Statham.
 
This years "Oh shit they got a tank!" award goes to...... The Russian Submarine!

No seriously. It loosk great as always. Movie of the year right here guys.
 
The only bad movie is 4. The first is one of the most quotable movies of all time. Second is so bad it's good. 3 has Han. 5-7 takes things to the next level.
